Trump-Musk Feud Shakes Washington, Jeopardizing Key Legislation

President Trump and Elon Musk's public feud is causing ripples in Washington. Trump's recent comments about Musk, calling him 'out of his mind,' follow Musk's criticism of Trump's large spending bill. ABC News Chief Washington Correspondent Jon Karl reports that the White House is attempting to mediate a conversation between the two, but Trump shows little interest. Musk's tweet calling the bill a "disgusting abomination" has sparked debate among Republican lawmakers, some of whom are avoiding taking sides. Representative Thomas Massie, who voted against the bill, notes that Musk's comments may alter the bill's trajectory. Meanwhile, House Democrats view the feud as a positive development, hoping it will hinder the bill's passage. The situation highlights the influence of powerful figures on political processes and the potential for unexpected consequences when high-profile individuals clash.
